But now a supposed insider tells GlobeSt that the plan for the 43,000-square-foot, $10 million Tavern overlooking Yerba Buena Gardens was never finalized.

"[Tavern] never made a firm commitment to open, at the Metreon and that such a commitment is now on indefinite hold as the restaurateur winds down its Central Park operation under Ch. 11," the source told the site.

A lease at the Metreon was contingent upon the ownership of Tavern on the Green having its Central Park lease renewed by New York City, which it was not, according to GlobeSt.

Meanwhile SF Eater reports the remaking of the Metreon goes on with a new host of restaurants, minus the Tavern, set to open this year with more trickling in over the following year.
